a) you only update IG_Battlegrounds to 1.150 once the ENL Admin mod has been released for that version (or for the version of whatever hotfix is presumably incoming) and

b) you keep the Native glitch-free ENL maps rather than updating to the new Port Assault for instance, until the end of this ENL cycle. The old maps are being used until the end of the ENL cycle presumably because people are still more prepared on the old maps (would be a bit lame if a match like IG v.s. Trinity, RNGD v.s. Trinity w/e took place on the new Port Assault without either team having really prepared for it). I think the same argument essentially applies, clans use Battlegrounds to train competitively, and it's less useful if you're using a radically different map to the one you'll actually be playing matches on.

Went through some logs I have (up till 20th of Jan), and it seems like around 06:00 GMT (server log time zone, whatever that was) seems to be the time when the insomniacs have left and the early risers haven't joined. There's the rare occasion of the server being vacated all through the night (during summers and Christmas time), but only a few players at that point.

Hey, i was wondering if someone could clarify some rules for me, in the hope that it will help me be a more productive member of the IG_BG community.

Is it against the rules of the server for me to kick peoples bodies. I have been kicked for it before, to my irritation, but having looked through the guidelines i haven't noticed anything that would prohibit it.

A clear yes or no archer would be really preferable here.

Thanks guyZ.

This is my personal view (as a casual player) on the matter;

Kicking corpses can be interpreted as disrespecting the player whose corpse is kicked, and therefore this rule applies:

Neither you nor your team gain an advantage by kicking a dead player, so if someone does kick someone elses body that is either friendly banter between friends or harrassment (similar to tea-bagging). If you are not doing this in a friendly spirit with one of your friends, then it violates the rule 'Respect other players'. As it cannot be readily verified if the other person agrees to have his dead body kicked by you, you should consider kicking corpses to be forbidden.

Try it with respect other players. Unfortunately it is commun to kick dead bodies of others for what ever reasons. Not all admins treat this offense though or it's due to you having been a nice guy before so it's kind of expected of you to act niceley. Anyway, teasing or trash talking has it's price.
